Roman Reigns, famously known as The Original Tribal Chief, is confirmed to lead the opening segment of the upcoming WWE Raw show at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, scheduled for Monday, October 6. The announcement was made via the arena’s official X account, signaling an early return following his recent live appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Reigns’ return to WWE Raw in Dallas marks a quick follow-up to his surprise comeback on the September 30 episode from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh. This WWE Raw Dallas Opening Segment highlights the continued focus on the returning leader of The Bloodline, ensuring fans will witness Reigns live and in action soon.
Recap of Roman Reigns’ Return and Recent WWE Raw Appearance
Roman Reigns made a dramatic reappearance in the finale of the WWE Raw broadcast from Raleigh, where he aided The Usos in securing a victory over the Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed-led Vision faction during a Tornado Tag match. This encounter was a rematch from their WrestlePalooza event on ESPN.
His return served as payback, as Reigns had been previously stretchered off following an intense assault by Breakker and Reed. This storyline was used to explain his absence while filming for his role as Akuma in the upcoming “Street Fighter” movie adaptation, connecting his in-ring return to his off-screen commitments.
Upcoming Matches and Appearances at WWE Raw in Dallas
The October 6 show in Dallas also features other key moments, including an appearance by “The Best in the World” CM Punk. Additionally, fans will see in-ring bouts such as WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch defending her title against Maxxine Dupri from Alpha Academy. Another featured match includes Lyra Valkyria squaring off against Roxanne Perez, a member of The Judgment Day faction.
Anticipated Storylines and Potential Developments on WWE Raw
With Roman Reigns returning to WWE Raw so promptly, viewers can expect him to confront both Paul Heyman and The Vision faction, continuing ongoing story arcs within the red brand. The show is set to broadcast live on Netflix at its regular 8/7c time slot.
This return not only strengthens the show’s storyline momentum but could also set the stage for new rivalries and developments as the WWE calendar progresses toward major events like WrestleMania 42.
